Hi,
I'd like to start up two instances of OpenOffice on one machine. One
JVM is my main engine, servicing normal user requests, some of which may
request a document. A second JVM on my server is a "worker" service,
processing batches of documents at a time.
Ideally, I'd like each JVM to have their own OO instance so that they
don't conflict each other or cause each other latency when processing
their requests.
Is this possible? Are their drawbacks to having two OO instances on one
machine? Should I be using libraries or some other way to use OO to do
my file conversions without actually using OO instances?
yes, this should be possible. you can start multiple instances of OOo from
a single installation. afaik, an OOo user profile can be used by only one
OOo instance at any one time, so you would have to create two OOo user
profiles. (also, obviously, the two instances can't listen on the same
pipe/port/whatever.)
if you need to do file conversions, then you probably won't get away with
anything less than an OOo instance.
regards,
michael
